Alex Williams, the Director of Workforce at Rome Floyd Chamber, emphasized the critical role of building strong partnerships between schools and the broader community. Both messages highlighted the mutual benefits such partnerships can deliver in helping shape our future.

They discussed the flexible and innovative strategies implemented by Calhoun City Schools, which are at the forefront of educational opportunities. The district's forward-thinking initiatives, partnerships, and pathway programs are designed to cultivate the local workforce and provide students with exposure, experience, and certifications to prepare them for life beyond graduation as they transition into college or careers. #CCSHeroes #DiscoverTheHeroWithinYou
